MARCH FAVOURTIES

Supertooth speaker - After completely sorting through my bedroom. I cam across this, I bought it a few years ago and totally forgot about it. I have been using it a lot since, It is very handy because connecting your phone to my phone is so useful and the sound quality is good too. I am looking forward to the summer and taking this to listen to music and soak up the sunshine. 

Rimmel Lipstick Kate Moss 08 - This wasn't an intentional buy but I absolutely love it! I recently went to boots to buy my concealer and they had a 3 for 2 offer on. I always get so tempted by these, I always pick up at least one lip product and this was the selection. I am such a pink, nude lover when it comes to lip shades and this lipstick is very pigmented and glossy. I will definitely buy more of these. 

Paper Planes John Green - I have been travelling a lot this month, unfortunately only in the UK, to London, Bristol and Birmingham. I started reading this book on the train and in between travelling. John Green is the author of the recently well known film, the fault in our stars. I read the book before watching the film and absolutely loved it so I thought I would try one of his other books. I won't give away the story but will mention that  the writing style of John Green's books are great. I am really enjoying this book and would recommend it to anyone. 

The Body Shop Honey & Oat Facemask - I have been using this mask for a few years and always try to branch out to new ones which is a complete fail because I always go back to this. I try and use it at least once a week. It is a very light exfoliating mask that really cleanses, soothes and moustrises your skin. 

Gel Nail Polish - I usually shellac my nails but have recently been so busy, so have been using a gel nail polish. I find them long lasting and find the gel polishes have a shine. The one I have been using recently is a taupe shade that I received in a gift set as a Christmas present this year. 

What have you been loving this month?

MY MONTH IN PHOTOS | MARCH

I have spent a lot of time with my little lovelies this month. I now have three little ones to spend all my spare time with and keep me on my feet on my free days. Little Autumn, Theo and Esme, I'm so lucky to have these little stars in my life. 
How cute!
Getting into what I actually got up to this month. I started off by visiting the National Marine Aquarium with my Sister in Law, Autumn and Theo. They loved looking at the fishes and water, both of them were fascinated. 
After the awards ceremony in London last month. Me and mum decided to visit the Tower Of London. The hotel we were staying in was near and we decided to make the most of our time in London, it was an interesting and great trip.
After a crazy few days in London I went on a little trip to Penryn, Cornwall to visit my Auntie and meet up with my friend Soph who I hadn't seen for a long time. The weather was beautiful, I spent a few days there and had a lovely time 

I took my Mum and Nan to one of our favourite places to eat last month for Mother's Day. The Angels tea room in Babbacombe, it's a truly beautiful place. I wrote a blog post about it here.
The weather is starting to brighten up meaning one thing..Sunday dog walks on the beach! It was Autumn's first trip to the beach and she slept most of the walk. 
She looks like a little teddy bear in her sling doesn't she?
In last month's photos I mentioned about one of my friend's being Pregnant. 
Well here she is..beautiful Olivia Rose Cameron. I spent a few afternoons having lots of cuddles with the little cutie. 

After 3 months of managing and putting all my effort into this event. The abseil was a huge success and I actually had the guts to abseil 100ft myself. We don't know the total amount raised yet but have a rough idea of £9,000 which is fantastic!
A little random collage of photos from evenings spent with the girls. Love them!
Last week I went to Birmingham to see one of my favourite singers, Adele. She was amazing and exceeded my expectations completely. 
Have you been up to much this month?

ANGELS TEA ROOMS

For Mother's Day last month I was undecided how to treat my Mum and Nan so this year I took them away for lunch to one of our favourite places to eat, Angels. 
Angels is a tea room in Babbacombe, we discovered this little sea front gem a few years ago and they serve the most delicious high tea ever.  
The tea room is very small yet very spiritual, it is filled with lots of Angel decor. 
We love it! It is very reasonably priced, we usually get the high tea for two and end up taking the cake home because we are always too full! 
I would 100% recommend this beautiful place!

MY HERO POEM

My little sister, Ella is growing up too fast, she's 12 going on 16. She recently started secondary school and as part of a homework task, she had to complete a project about her hero. She decided to do it on me..bless her!
 For a part of the project she had to write a poem, with little help from my Nan she created a poem that brought me to tears so I thought I would share it with you!

I HAVE AN OLDER SISTER
HER NAMES ELISHA SEARL
SHE WAS ALWAYS FULL OF LIFE 
A BUBBLY HAPPY GIRL
UNTIL THAT SCARY MORNING
WHEN THE DOCTOR CALLED TO SAY
'I'M AFRAID YOU HAVE LEUKAEMIA'
GO TO THE HOSPITAL STRAIGHT AWAY 
OUR FAMILY WAS DEVASTATED 
OUR WORLD JUST FELL APART 
THIS HAPPENS TO OTHER PEOPLE 
NOT SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOUR HEART 
ALTHOUGH WE USED TO ARGUE
AND CALL EACH OTHER NAMES 
I WISH THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED
LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
AND SO OUR JOURNEY STARTED OFF
CHEMO AND LOOSING HER HAIR 
RADIOTHERAPY AND SICKNESS 
LIFE ISN'T REALLY FAIR
MY BROTHER WHO'S CALLED KIERAN
HE'S USELESS AT MOST THINGS
WAS A MATCH FOR ELISHA
AND GAVE HER HIS STEM CELL THINGS
SHE STARTED TO RECOVER 
BUT STILL GETS TIRED QUICK
SHE'S GOT INVOLVED WITH A CHARITY
IT'S NAME, I THINK IS CLIC
AND NOW SHE'S FEELING BETTER 
HER TIME SHE GIVES TO THEM 
RAISING MONEY AND AWARENESS
FOR CHILDREN WITH THE SAME 
SO NOW WE LAUGH AT CANCER 
AND STARE IT IN THE FACE 
ELISHA IS MY HERO 
SOMEONE I CAN'T REPLACE 
FOR ALL THAT SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH 
HEARTACHE TEARS AND PAIN 
WE ALL HAVE CAME OUT SMILING
MY HERO'S BACK AGAIN
SHE WRITES A BLOG ONLINE 
I SOMETIMES READ AT NIGHT 
IT'S CALLED A SPOONFULL OF SUGAR 
GIVING OTHERS HOPE TO FIGHT

BY ELLA ROSE SEARL
